Recipe Development

As a home-cook, I love creating original recipes highlighting my favorite flavors, ingredients, and brands! I take pride in my work and put quite lot of thought and effort into crafting the perfect dish to showcase the unique flavors of your product.

Posts may contain 1 or 2 product images and will be linked back to the company.

Posts remain indexed on Following In My Shoes and they do not expire.

Posts will be sent out via Twitter and Facebook upon publication.

Sponsored posts are NOT product reviews; sponsored posts will be written in my style and voice and I will organically fit your product links and pics into the post.

Sidebar Advertising

All ad sizes are in pixels and are subject to approval. Before ads are posted to my site, payment must be sent via Paypal (after your ad has been approved, I will send you my Paypal information) or check.

Discounts available for ads purchased in bulk (i.e. 3, 6, or 12 months).

I enjoy reviewing products that are a good fit for Following In My Shoes. There is no charge for a product review.

Full size items are required and review items will not be returned. You, as the company, will assume all fees associated with shipping the review item.

A review post will include:

A maximum of 2 SEO keyword links to your site or direct links to product (additional keyword/links are $10 each);

One to two product photos – company provided or taken by me – linked back to your site;

In addition, your giveaway will be highly promoted in several ways, including social media sites, giveaway blogs and websites, and forums.

At the conclusion of the giveaway, I will send you the winner name(s) and you will be responsible for shipping the giveaway prize. Shipping and tracking information is always appreciated.

*Please note: given my writing schedule (and my busy life as a Mommy to little ones), I may not always accept giveaway opportunities. If that is the case, I will let you know and we will see if another option works with your business’s goals.
